Contemporary Indian restaurant in Mainz – Augustinerstraße

Our Indian restaurant is situated in the heart of Mainz’s lively Old Town and is inspired by north-western India: the desert region of Rajasthan. We’ll take you on an adventurous, folkloric and multifaceted journey!

Here in Mainz, our guests are immersed in a world full of sandy hues. The welcoming atmosphere of the dining area is characterised by sandstone and brick walls, reminiscent of Rajasthani architecture, transporting you to a picturesque house façade that stretches impressively across the back wall of the restaurant. The bar, situated between the kitchen and the dining area, with its roof made from a lorry tarpaulin, is reminiscent of a bustling market stall. A beaming “Namaste” awaits you as a warm welcome when you enter our restaurant.

Rajasthan is known not only for its extraordinary desert landscape, but also for its colourful architecture. Symbolising Jaipur and Jodhpur, our restaurant in Mainz offers you a brief escape to the world-famous Pink and Blue Cities. Jodhpur was once the capital of the Rajput and later princely state of Marwar. Jodhpur is also known as the ‘Blue City’ because of the colour of its houses. Traditionally, the colour blue signified that the inhabitants belonged to the Brahmin caste, although today non-Brahmins have also adopted this custom. Jaipur is now the capital of Rajasthan and is also known as the ‘Pink City’ because of the uniform pink colour of the buildings in the old town. The buildings were painted in 1876 in preparation for a visit by Crown Prince Albert Eduard, Prince of Wales. Pink is Rajasthan’s traditional colour of hospitality.

Welcome to our Indian retreat in the heart of Mainz’s hotspot.
